VI. BERNHARDT'S BULL.FIGHT.
Slra's Eldest Son DisGing uishes
Himself in n Cuban CoW.Siick-

Maurice Bernhardt-or Maureece, as his
mamma calls him--is 22-year-old chip of
the old block. He is fond of billiard play
ing, card-playing, boating. riding fishing
sparring, racing. Jumping, travelling SAND
bull-tightng. I'LL
His propensity in the latter direction was s;
not developed until the recent visit of his
accomplished mother to Havana. Cuba.
While the madame was filling an engage.
ment in that sinful town the celebrated
Spanish bull-fighter, Mazatini, was also en-
gagged in giving exhibitions of his wonderful
skill. Eor each of twelve exhibitions he re-
ceved the munificent sum of $50, 900 from
the public treasury.
Mazatini has seen Bernhardt, and to see
her was to be enraptured. So he invited the
actress and her company, and the French
consul, and few others to a private bull
fighting exhibition arranged expressly for
the occasion. at O'clock on weekday
morning NlaZatni as rule, carves the
bull only on Sundays that being the bull
batting day i'll Spain and in all the Spanish
provinces.
The $50, 600 artist, assisted by full
staff Of picadores and chuloS gave chaste
performance in Bernhardt's presence, first
electing her president-eyery bull-fght must
have a president-and when the profess
SIGNALS had baited. and rritated, and
stabbed the poor, miserable oyerfed Cuban
bull, and had received the applause of
Nine. Sara and her company, young Maui
rice entered the arena and essayed the role
of bull-fghter.
The gentleman cow was led forth by the
picadores, the chul0s showed out their red
flannel tongues to enrage the beast. the
great matador himself talked Spanish to the
bull until his horns began to wilt, and after
much batting, poking. sticking and prod
ding the animal got its masculine back up
and made break for young Bernhardt.
1t was then that his athletic agility came
into full play. His mother yelled at him i'm
high French to come out; the stock COM
pany hurrahed and hrayoed; the picadors,
chulos, and boss matadOIs encouraged the
bull; the son of the actress skipped around
after the dancng-master fashion of his
countrymen; the bull charged upon Maurice.
Maurice charged upon a fence; the bull
still pursued him; the fence was a small
obstacle in the way of French athlete
and when the bull came up the brilliant
young scion OF the house of Bernhardt was
landed safely Oh the other side
ut was" as Mr.. Strakosch said to Mail
reporter yesterday, very exciting-very
exciting"
When the young monsieur arrives here
next week it is probable that match will
be arranged for him with board of trade
bull. The boys around town are talking of
giving him a benefit. The exhibition can
take place on the floor of the board, and it
will in all likelihood prove more exciting
than the Havana incident.

THE BOG OF RUSSIA.
Ehe Dreary Piusk Marshes--A Sug-
@gestiOn Regarding ireland.

There is in Russia a district as large as
Ireland, known as the Pinsk marshes, says
Chambers Journal, and wholly impossible
from the size and number of its morasses,
III addition to which it is covered with an
impenetrable forest of underground and
tangled Jungle, and consequently was ut.
terly useless. To make this vast extent of
land available for the purposes of pasturage
and agriculture, all that was required, ap-
parently, was thorough system of draining
and cleaning, as the land itself, as land,
was found good for the proposed purposes.
Accordingly the Russian government has
gone to work with will and is now, and
has been for some time past energetically
engaged in both these useful and important
operations. and the work has been crowned
with marked success. At present 4, 600, 600
OF acres have been reclaimed and during
next year it Is proposed 800, 900 more shall
be taken in hand by means of 100 miles of
canals and bikes. 1t is further reported
that upward of 600, 600 miles of once USE
less bog are now good meadow land, while
1900, 600 acres Of impenetrable Jungle have
been brought INTO cultivation. In addition
to all this the engineers have built 179
bridges. sunk ST. wells. and surveyed and
mapped 10000 Sqnare miles of land. If
such a scheme as this can be successfully
carried out by Russia, why should not some
such plan be carried out in Ireland? A
scientific exchange, referring to this ques-
ton, says: The amount of bog in Ireland
would. of course be child's play to the
Pinsk marshes for somehow we are always
confronted with bog as the chief source of
Irish difficulties. If its humiliation will
pay so well IN Russia it ought to do SO

Harper's Weekly.


Harper's Weekly.
A professor in q certain musical college
once told me of pupil who attended his
lectures-a young woman from some re
mote place like Seattle or Los Angeles. who
attracted his attention by her extreme devo-
ton to her work. her regularity-in fact, by
all that goes to make pupil ''solid" with
the faculty. Moreover, she was beautiful
as the day, with large and statuesque
beauty, as of strong full nature, serene
calm and undlsturbed. But, alas! when
examination came and papers were handed
in hers was found to be simply impossible.
1t was evident that behind that Juno-i like
brow there were no brains. In fact, such
a paper was never seen before; even the
spelling was ludicrous; while grammar and
music were equally injured and outraged iii
every line. Tears could not move my stern
friend, and his report was mot passed. ~
But it was intimated to him that there were
reasons why it was absolutely essential that
the pupil should graduate, while her knowl-
edge might be acquired atterward. Ac-
c0rdingly, she applied for discrimination.
and the questions were then something like
this: /. Is not the symphony the highest
form of purely musical expression? g.
Was not Berli0Z remarkable for his mastery
of ingenious orchestral effects? 8. Is not
Bach called the father of modern music?
"'And to my establishment and gratifica-

swered with great perspicacity, Yes, and
passed triumphantly-average mark ir my

ENE BALLADE OF THE DREAM

Swift as sound of music fed
When no more the organ signs,
Sped as all old joys are sped,
So your lips, Love, and your eyes,
So your gentle-voiced replies
Mine, one hour, in sleep that seem,
Fit away as slumber flies,
Following darkness like dream.
AS the scent from roses red,
AS the dawn from April skies,
AS the phantom Of the dead,
From the living love that HES;
AS the shifting shade that lies
On the moonlight silvered stream.
So you rise, when dreams arise.
Following darkness like dream.
Could some witch with woven tread.
Could some spell in fairy wise,
Lap about this dreaming head
In mist of memories,
should lie like him that lies
Where the lights on Latmos CLEAN,
Meath Selene down the skies
Following darkness like dream.
fC ENVOY.
Sleep, that grants what life denies.
Shadowy bounties and supreme.
Bring me back her face, that flies.
Following darkness like dream.

EnglIsh DisIikc of France,

It is singular how the English dislike
the French. This sentiment is prevalent
in the very best circles, and is equally
strong with the uneducated masses. The
secret of the opposition to the construc.
ton of the tunnel does not arise from any
fear upon the part of those opposing this
scheme that England viii be in any more
danger of invasion after the completion Of
such tunnel but from invincible dislike
for the French. Said one of the best and
most intelligent English gentlemen have
met in this country: "We don't want
anything built or done that can make
communication between this country and
France easy and more intimate than it
now is" Then he added in a thoughtful,
contemplative way: 81 think / can say
without danger of exaggeration that / Ihate
all Frenchmen, and / do not know of a
single properly trained Englishman who
does not feel as do. IT. G. Crawford in

In New York are certain persons who
have gottogether money, and who have
no further means of distinguishing them
selves than by becoming directors in
opera houses, etc. 1t is the custom for
the very ric7 families here to take prin-
cipal box by the season, and consequent
ly director in the opera has certain en-
tree to society. Now and then they fall
out among each other and fight like dogs
and cats for these directorships. Much
of the true happiness in opera is TO be
seen up in the top tier, where the people
go in cloth costume for the sake of hear
ing the music, and there you can find the
the real talent of the house among the
young girls who know their pianos, and
the mothers who once played theirs with
skill and who feel the necessity of refine
ment in their children,

How Portland, Oregon Received It's
name in 1912.
II may not be generally known that the
toss of a cent decided the name of the
second largest city on the Pacific coast,
and that, too, not so many years ago. 1t
was in the summer of 1912, when immi-
grafton wvs pouring into Oregon. Two
of the pioneers, A l.. Lovejoy and man
named 0verton, while EN- route from
Vancouver to Oregon City, stepped ashore
from their canoe at the point where
Portland now stands, and, having exam
ined the topography of the surrounding
country, concluded at once that II was
the most eligible position for town site.
AT some time during the ensuing winter
they returned, and commenced at once
to clear Fl the land and make prepara-
tions for the erection of log cabin. BE
fore they had carried out this scheme
Oyerton disposed of his intere I in the
claim to man named Pettygrove, who
in conjunction with Lovejoy, hal the
claim surveyed and the boundaries estab
lished during the summer OF 1874. A
log house was completed and occupied
during the next by an employee. In the
summer of 1S45 a more accurate survey
was made, and the ground was laid of
into streets and blocks. Lovejoy wanted
to name the city, Boston, in honor OF
the capital of his native State, while Pet
tygrove preferred to honor Portland, Me-,
the city whence he came, The toss OF
cent decided the question in favor of
